Favorite Vintage Advice: Don’t Powder in Public

Happy Friday! Let’s share another laugh and a look back at one of my favorite findings from my vast library of vintage resources. I’ll post amusing advertisements, articles or advice, spanning the topics of domestic arts, fashion, beauty and more. This little gem comes from The Etiquette Book. It’s full of useful tips for ladies in all kinds of occasions, seasons, and circumstances. In this passage, we are warned that it is,

“wholly out of place in an office to dress up one’s face”

I wonder if the same rule applied even to lipstick! I think that should be the exception, don’t you?


Check back for more quirky quotes and images!
(and find more of these timeworn tips in my book Vintage Notions)!
